OT: 2017 American Football Thread

It's the Brandon Marshall curse...remove him from the team and all of a sudden they're a cohesive, together unit

Honestly even with winning this game is boring as hell

So I finally just now got a chance to see this Austin Seferian-Jenkins thing that's supposedly the worst call in 100 years, and I just dont see it.

I actually think the NFL ref likely got this correct. The likely bit is the part Jets fans have to bitch about IMO, because you only overturn the call on the field (which was TD) if you have conclusive evidence.

It's definitely a fumble prior to the endzone, so if any part of his body touches the white before he "reposseses" the football, it's a touchback. And I think that's likely what happened.

But that "likely" bit is the problem. All I've seen are the two CBC camera views, and both are useless to tell whether it's a TD or a touchback. If the NFL has another camera angle to support what it "likely" looks like, it's the right call. If the NFL doesn't, the Jets got completely screwed. I think they need to release the camera angle they have to put people's mind at rest.

Mike Periera and Dean Blandino (both former heads of officiating) said the overturn was a bad decision. Even Pat homer Scott Zolak was beside himself during the Pat broadcast. It was bad.

The official claim was that "He fumbled, regained possession, then fumbled again and went out of bounds before regaining possession." Where that second fumble comes into play I have no idea, unless they're referring to the ball shaking in his arm as he hits the ground.

Lucky for the Jets that they have an easy game this week.

 

[NJDevs26]

Marshawn should have stayed retired, he clearly doesn't want to play football anymore.

 

[Just Win]

Seems like Amari Cooper finally remembered how to catch a ball.

Too bad the D still sucks and has now set a record for most games without an interception. At least NaVorro Bowman seems to have filled the giant hole at MLB for now.

 

[NJDevs26]

So the Jets are playing an AFC game on FOX and the Giants are playing an NFC game on CBS?! This doesn't compute.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Juat tuned in. Is there a reason the turf is this bad in Miami?

A UMiami-Syracuse game yesterday ostensibly is the reason.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Cutler crouches down. What the hell do you expect Lee to do in that situation?

 

[Devils Dominion]

Dolphins stuck

 

[NJDevs26]

Skrine sucks worse and is single-handedly getting the Fish back in the game.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Cleveland 0-7

 

[Jersey Fresh]

McCown...

 

[Devils Dominion]

Miami turf is an embarrassment.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Bowles should suspend Anderson Next Week.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Even as a Jet fan, I just have to laugh. lol

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Dolphins stuck

thanks for the W!

 

[glenwo2]

thanks for the W!

So your team, the Bills, and the Pats are 4-2.

And the Pats are on Top because they score a bajillion more points.

Nothing to see here.

Is it just me or does the guy on the right look a little...a smidge...an iota...like Taylor Hall?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Dolphins are 1 game back from the best record in the NFL

Hardly anyone cares

Seriously, though. Congrats. I'm sick and tired of the Pats year after year representing the AFC LEAST...err, EAST. I want another team to do that for a change of pace.
